they are not doing conventional ones either now.....check first

I can certainly find installers offering quotes.

Could explain why balanced flue gas fires are no longer being fitted?

well here is a quote from a gas safe installer I contacted
recently......"I'm sorry to say we, like most gas fitters have decided
not to fit flueless or conventional gas fires as the rules make it very
difficult".....

To my mind there are three different types aren't the-

Conventional - with a flue going up a chimney or similar, draw air
from room

Balanced Flue - Both air in and fumes out go via a hole in the
wall, no need for chimney, doesn't draw air from room

Flueless - No flue of any sort, draws air from room, exhausts to
room. Needs careful design to be sure gas fully burnt to CO2,
needs good ventilation.
